Firefly Journey

Chapter 234 Birds and Fish Take Different Paths (9)

The Myriad Shell is a spatial artifact within the Holy See, normally guarded by designated personnel. However, it has now been tampered with by Relocot, rendering it unusable by the three high priests.

Relocourt and Conrad were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand, leaving the remaining contestants in Vientiane Bay in a predicament where they could neither advance nor retreat.

Hayden Gert, who had absorbed the essence of four demigod-level magical beasts with his gaping maw, was deformed from absorbing too much power that did not belong to him, and his appearance no longer resembled that of a human.

Now that things have come to this, the wind chime has withdrawn its supernatural powers and returned to the ground.

The people in St. Louis looked at each other, and finally Lin Yuanran asked, "What was that just now?"

Since she had decided to leave anyway, Fengling had nothing to hide now and said truthfully, "As you can see, my main profession is actually a 'singer,' the Dark Temple pathway."

The Singer is a core class in the Dark Temple. Her second awakening is "Praiser" and her third awakening is "String Master". Judging from the strength shown by Wind Chime, she has obviously already reached the third awakening, otherwise she would not be able to perform "Annihilation Hymn" to this extent.

The crowd moved their lips, but didn't know what to say.

The wind chime didn't intend to explain further.

"We can talk about other things later. Right now, we need to figure out how to get out of here," Fengling said.

She ended the spell of the miracle when she discovered that the demonic sound fluctuations could no longer eliminate people, which meant that the Myriad Shells had lost contact with the outside world.

The reason was obvious; it was related to the sudden appearance of the strange phenomenon. From their position, everyone could clearly see Hayden Gert transform into a monster.

“Everyone, I think we should cooperate,” Wind Chime said.

Locke, who was suffering terribly from the torment, said with a gloomy face, "Fine."

There was no other way. Of the remaining contestants from Eklin Academy, only he and Jamie were present.

The Black and White Academy still has two members left, Lü Hongxiu and Duan Feibai. However, they have consumed too much magic power to deal with the negative effects of the Annihilation Song, and are now very weak, so they can't be of much help.

Besides these, the only non-St. Louis contestant remaining on the field is Joanna.

Whether Fengling showed mercy or simply didn't want to harm her, she had already given up, but unexpectedly escaped unscathed.

However, she felt like crying but had no tears. Those who were eliminated earlier might have benefited from the misfortune and left the Myriad Manifestations Shell Space ahead of time, while she was trapped inside.

Six people from St. Louis, and only five from the rest, still made up the majority of the group. If it weren't for the sudden, unusual phenomenon, this seemingly close contest would likely have ended in a complete victory for St. Louis.

"Do you... have any good ideas?" Duan Feibai of the Black and White Academy asked.

Wind Chime's words were simple and clear: "Since there's a problem, let's address the root cause."

Everyone knew what she was talking about. The source of the strange phenomenon was undoubtedly Chibman, whose body had been deformed. Taking him out might restore this place to its original state.

Without delay, led by Fengling, the group quickly headed towards Chibman, who was absorbing essence blood.

Several minutes had already passed by this time.

The large amounts of red blood energy that had been flowing into Chibman's body gradually became invisible, which meant that he had achieved his goal.

But in achieving success, he himself also became a monster.

Upon arriving, the group immediately unleashed a barrage of divine pronouncements. The magic of more than ten people exploded simultaneously, creating a spectacular scene. However, these pronouncements had no effect whatsoever, because Chibman, whose body had swelled up, had become like the other members of the Misery Society outside, devoid of pain.

Unfortunately, the others were unaware of this and continued their attack.

Having achieved his goal, Chibman, facing the relentless attacks of the crowd, naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He opened his twisted mouth, from which red liquid splattered out—presumably his mutated saliva.

He had completely transformed into a monster, just like the "Lord" Bolton had encountered, his heart filled with intense hunger. This hunger needed to be filled with enormous amounts of food, and the luminaries of the various churches before him were the best tonic.

……

Texas and Matthew flew into the sky together, wanting to see what kind of monster was hidden in the place where the blood essence was constantly surging.

Before the two even arrived, the smog that had blotted out the sky suddenly dissipated.

This haze, composed of various industrial waste gases, has lingered over Yicheng for nearly a century. To some extent, it is a testament to Yicheng's transformation into an industrial city.

But who could have imagined that the industrial smog, which did not cause any real harm to Yicheng, would become a hiding place for evil gods? This is a dereliction of duty, a serious dereliction of duty by the Holy See!

But at this point, discussing whose responsibility it is is meaningless; the most important thing is to solve the current problems.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Shell, all the magical beast essence that Hayden Gert had absorbed and transformed was returned to its original owner.

An extraordinary storm is brewing over the city of Yi!

The clouds dispersed, revealing the body of the evil god.

From the outside, it was a red mass of flesh several meters high, covered in blood, and looked extremely disgusting.

In the very center of the lump of flesh, a narrow slit split open, revealing sharp white teeth that gleamed with a cold light.

It's unclear whether He has any normal thought process or logic, as incoherent murmurs kept coming from His gaping maw.

"Hungry...so hungry...eat..."

Such murmurs echoed intermittently, reaching the ears of everyone in Yicheng.

"Isn't it an intelligent being?" Texas asked, staring at the disgusting red object.

The ancient continent of Pangaea is a bizarre and wonderful place, home to all sorts of strange and wonderful races, but none of them have ever been recorded in biological history as being so abstract in appearance.

There are many kinds of living things, but if we consider intelligence, they can be divided into intelligent beings and non-intelligent beings.

The former includes humans, orcs, elves, sea creatures, and so on, all of which are relatively large groups. The latter is mostly composed of magical beasts. Even though they are physically powerful and can continuously evolve into high-level extraordinary creatures, they ultimately cannot possess the independent thinking ability of intelligent beings and act entirely on instinct.

The evil god before us might actually fall into that category. If He truly is an unintelligent god, then Bolton and the others become a joke.

It is common for humans to enslave monsters, but have you ever heard of a human being enslaved by a monster?

“Whether it is or not, we must stop it.” Matthew pondered. Having confronted the abyss monsters for many years, he understood just how dangerous this world was. What they had to do was uphold Julius’s spirit and protect the people.

The large amount of demonic beast blood only satisfied His need for physical descent, but could not fill His instinctive hunger.

So this gaping maw began searching for food nearby, and two demigod-level human powerhouses undoubtedly fit the bill.

He wanted to eat, and the two high priests also longed to annihilate him. A frenzied and fierce battle broke out amidst the smog above the city of Il.
